Subject: Taxing Health Benefits

Comment: At a time when it is a struggle for employers, as well as the employees, to afford the high cost of medical coverage it seem unreasonable to me to add more cost to the people that are paying for their own medical coverage and are not depending the government to pay their health cost. This would definetly hurt the middle class people who really can't afford the high insurance premiums but can't afford to not have insurance because they can't afford to pay their medical bills and they don't qualify for government assistant. Please don't hurt the people that are trying to help themselves.
